Adewale Ajayi,
The supreme court has affirmed the election of Bala Mohammed as governor of Bauchi state.
A five-member panel of the court dismissed the appeal filed by Sadique Abubakar, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the March 2023 election.
The apex court corroborated the findings of the court of appeal, that affirmed the election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, and dismissed Abubakar’s appeal for being “devoid of merit”.
